real moms {sharing} all things fabulous
I can’t say that this was our worst flight home (catching barf in my hands and being unable to ring the call button above my head still stands out in my mind), but it had it’s moments. We travel from California to Michigan twice a year with all 3 kids. We are flying professionals (haha), but…
Did you read the GrooveBook post I wrote this fall? {HERE is the link} GrooveBook is a smartphone app that allows you to print your pictures for an unbelievable price. Are you sitting down? $2.99 per month. I was just a little bit geeked to see a company reviewed on The Simple Moms appear on…

The thought of putting on a tank top right now is only preceded with what cardigan will go over top of it. We are getting a heat streak here in Michigan, where we will reach 30 degrees this weekend! Oh yah!! Even with these conditions, it still won’t stop me from thinking happy thoughts of…
Five years ago, a friend of mine posted a picture of a kid-sized armchair with her son’s name embroidered on it. It was love at first sight. I knew I had to have one for my then one-year old daughter and a tradition was born (although I did not realize it at the time). Each of…
With Christmas now two weeks behind us and the decorations {finally} put away, my house is looking a little bear and drab. Time for a little Winter DIY Decorating! Up-Cycled Old Windows :: This is a great decorating {and really simple} project, especially if you happen to have old windows lying around. Or store this…
Pretty soon here I’ll be bringing home our newest bundle, and the madness of not knowing what I’m doing will start all over again. Even though this is baby #4, for me, that includes nursing. I wish I was one of those individuals who could just start and have no problems whatsoever. Unfortunately, that hasn’t…
Cold temps mean warm meals at our house, but I still want to have meals that are easy to prep and family friendly. After a lot of trial and error I think I’ve finally perfected my Easy Peasy Chicken Pot Pie recipe. We probably have this new family favorite every week! (In fact, I had…
